That would be cool the space combat style of WING COMMANDER in a BATTLESTAR GALACTICA setting. It would also make it possible for it to have plenty of ground combat against the cylons etc for those not into the flight sim thing. I can just see it now crushing a trench full of cylons with an armoured column of tanks only to have said tanks wiped out by a Cylon air to ground strike.

An old friend of mine used to play WING COMMANDER on every frigging system it came out on in the 1990s. Eventually though the X-Wing Star Wars series and real world air flight simulators seduced him away.

I would say that Fallout and TES have about the same sort of depth and richness.

A space shooter would be cool, an RPG style one, maybe try looking at the old Escape velocity franchise (I’m addicted to escape velocity nova on my laptop) Ambrosia software hasn’t done anything with it in years.

Hmm I think that TES has an interesting world yes but it hasn’t been exploited properly yet(well not in morrowind and oblivion), both games feeling too “dull” quest-wise.

I think with fallout 3 bethesda made a step in the right direction with some meaningful choices(the same that were totally lacking from oblivion) but still too few in my opinion to classify it with the legendary rpgs(which include the 2 previous fallout games).

Hopefully the next TES game will combine the interesting backstory of TES games with interesting quests and interesting choices.

Btw there seems to be a problem, that has been there for some time, with the comments, sometime I click on “comments” and the left and right part of the blog appear properly but not the part where the article+comments appear(which is left blank, or greyish in this case).

Also when I posted the comment the server returned a 500 – Internal Server Error but the comment appeared anyway.

@Sslaxx:
Well, I can only offer some speculations since there’s no hard evidence to back it up. I think however, that it’s because the series wasn’t quite as popular as it could have been, but don’t take my word for it.

@SpeedyB:
Yeah, I know and at least Freespace 2 would run under XP. The first one needs Win 98 to run properly (unfortunately).

@DarklyDreaming:
It looks like I had the same problem as you did since I got the same message… and the site went all weird and wouldn’t show me anything that was middle column (left and right ones loaded well enough though)…
